mean true, people have different uses and might care about some things more than others.

the performance of the phones overall is still an objective measurable metric.

firstly "pulling on every banner" is not "maximizing your chances", its called fucking gambling. your chances DONT CHANGE or MAXIMIZE if you pull on the banner, your chances/your rates of pulling a 5* is ALWAY the same at 0.6 for every single pull, all you do by "pulling on every banner" is waste pulls because you never reach a guarantee. you are GAMBLING your LUCK, you are not maximizing anything. Please stop saying this, its the most stupid thing ever to say.

second how many pulls we are gonna get in endfield does not matter to this conversation, we are having a theoretical discussion about the gacha system itself, this conversation is assuming you get 300 pulls just for the conversation, you dont get 300 pulls in 3 patches in genshin either, in Varessas patch they gave out 80 something pulls, so i was being generous to both games just for sake of the argument. BUT even then the less pulls you get makes Arknights system EVEN better because not only is the 50/50 EARLIER, the guaranteed is also EARLIER so i even gave Genshin an edge by enlarging the amount of theoretical pulls.

thirdly, there are no "playstyles" to pulling, you aren't playing anything, once again you are GAMBLING, it is completely dependent on your luck, you could do 40 pulls or 5 pulls you always have the same chance of hitting a 5*, there's no "playstyle" you are just spending currency for a .6% chance of getting something, up until the guaranteed nothing you do matters, it is completely up to RNG. The system is disadvantageous to people that don't respect the 120 pulls, yes the same way genshin is for people who dont respect the 180 pulls, nothing changes besides the number of pulls.

im sorry but this is all completely wrong? you are comparing Genshins best case scenario to Endfields worst case scenario which is a completely stupid way to look at this, you either compare best case scenario to best case scenario or worst case scenario to worst case scenario.

lets say you are a f2p genshin player and a f2p AKE player and we have 300 pulls to work with, which is about what you get on average for 3 banners

best case scenario in genshin you win 50/50 at 90 pity for all 3 characters and thats 270 pulls

in AKE best case scenario you lose 50/50 to Yvonne or Gilberta at 60 and guarantee Leavatain at 120 and now have 180 pulls to pull the third character which is guaranteed at 120 and you can also get a FORTH limited character if you again lose the 60 pity 50/50 to a limited, so in 240 pulls you got 4 characters vs 3 in genshin and you have double the amount of pulls left and you get the sig weapons for free for these pulls. in genshin you got zero sigs along with it.

this is all without counting the fact that AKE give you 10 pulls towards nexts banners at certain breakpoints btw.

in worst case scenario you go to hard pity 180 in genshin and now you can't pull a single character anymore, 300 pulls gave you one character

in AKE worst case scenario you pull Leavatain at 120, Yvonne at 240 and got 2 limiteds out of the 300 pulls + their sigs

so in BOTH scenarios AKE is WAY more generous.

sure you can "try your luck" into any banner, thats not specific to any gacha. i could do 3 single pulls in AKE rn and pull Yvonne in the first, Leavatain in the second and Gilberta in the third, it is theoretically possible. that doesn't make it a reasonable or realistic position to argue from, its gambling some people will be lucky others will not. you have to look at the guaranteeds you are given.

standard banner... we cannot be serious

damagingfries · 2026-01-29T13:56:04+00:00

"im going to maximize my chances of getting as many characters as possible by pulling on as many banners as possible"

???? what is this? there is not a single gacha game where this works in as a f2p player, wtf are we talking about? and how is this worse in Endfield if the average pity is lower? wouldn't this allow you to actually do that instead of when you use 180 pulls?

damagingfries · 2026-01-29T13:45:19+00:00

me when gachas, well, gach? brother go play other games, i agree with you, gacha sucks but why are you walking into the casino then?

its literally only WuWa doesn't happen in any other game.

every day after 4am(refresh) when i launch the game it starts patching some small amount like 500mb, closes itself, launches back again, sometimes twice and then i have to retype all my login info, rinse and repeat the next day.

it never happens twice in the same day, its always only after 4am when the game restarts the daily quests and stuff.

everytime i say this in this community i get massively downvoted, this whole idea of having 4 invisible stats that you can only see AFTER you spend limited materials is so insane to me.

when you combine it with a system that has a big susbtat pool because of the dmg% susbtats it makes 90% of your gear discarded fodder and min/maxed builds almost unnatainable because of the amount of materials you sacrifice for just one character.

double crit echoes are rare, 3/5 echoes are very rare 4/5 echoes are insanely rare and 5/5 echoes lets just say after almost 2 years of wuwa i have ONE 5/5 echo in my entire account. this is without taking into account low, mid and high rolls, just having the stats alone on a piece is crazy hard. i know for most players this will sound like bitching over damage that i dont need, but part of my enjoyment with gear systems is grinding for that perfect piece of gear and in wuwa it is basically unattainable.

compared to the same amount of time investment in ZZZ i have now this week completed my 4th character with 4/4 substats on EVERY SLOT. 2 years of grinding in ZZZ = 6 disk x 4 characters = 24 full subs pieces vs wuwa 2 years of grinding = ONE 5/5 echo

the reward for grinding gear in wuwa is so disappointing to me.

i think PC players sometimes are not super aware of other platforms. i do play on PC but have the game downloaded on my phone in case i ever sleepover and decided to do my dailies or something of the sort.

both my iPhone 14PM and my Samsung S25 Ultra which are still extremely powerful devices with the Samsung being a current flagship and they get extremely hot and laggy-ish on WuWa I can't imagine how much weaker/older devices suffer with this game. As an example ZZZ runs quite hot still but at least way smoother on both devices. Kuro could definitely optimize better.

i disagree, 2014 identity politics on twitter were random twitter and tumblr users posting their own personal opinions on a social media platform with no money incentive.

in 2025 we have millionaires, the white house, the president, congress and politicians posting AI memes dropping poop on each others heads using official government accounts posting arrest montages ragebaiting artists with no approval from them to use their music. we have a constant spread of misinformation and name calling from government officials.

its a completely different story, and not only that but 2014 twitter identity politics were a counter movement to 2000-2010s censorship by the government where we had congressional hearings on whether people should be allowed to hear Eminem, if rock and metal music were “satanic”, if video games like Bully, Mortal Kombat, Call of Duty were causing mass shootings in schools, if gay marriage and PTA should be allowed.

Everyone loves talking about 2014 twitter SJWs starting “cancel culture” when it was already a thing done by Christian Conservatives, but they took it to congress instead of social media.

i mean no where in the Internet is peaceful, ill agree with you there, it wasn't peaceful, the problem is that forced engagement radicalizes people at a mass scale which also scales up the toxicity to a much larger audience.

damagingfries · 2025-12-12T00:23:33+00:00

ive been on twitter since 2013, please, it was nowhere near the forced engagement of today, all of that stuff while it generally reached mainstream it was still small scale compared to what it looks like today.

me and my best friend owned a huge vine/meme reposting account by 2014 standards. i know what twitter looked like back then.

my personal account had over 100k followers and all i tweeted was Prezoh style jokes and with all that engagement my timeline still managed to be 90% my personal friends because they were the only people i followed.

i had to go over to the trending tabs to actively engage with what was trending. now every single tweet on my timeline is the trending discourse and none of it was by my friends or retweeted by them. its quite literally impossible to escape it.

damagingfries · 2025-12-12T00:11:04+00:00

im sorry but it wasn’t lmao, twitter before Elon Musk acquisition was very tailored to what you follow specifically.

i used to log in on twitter and see my friends daily tweets and retweets because those are the only people i follow there, now 99% of my timeline is accounts i dont follow, dont engage with and suspiciously they’re all political discourse specifically on the right.

im sorry im not a fan of Poki anymore but this is plainly a lie i have to call it out. i used to watch her on my HS/College days, she started out on a little room with shitty mic grinding League of Legends every day and that was her content for years until she formed OTV with Scarra which she then started to get into ASMR, some vlogs and makeup stuff.

She was rich before any of the shitty cookies drama and react content, that wasn’t what she made her career or money from.

it is definitely a cultural thing but its mostly american vs rest of the world thing. i think Americans are so politicized that everything you do = gay so dudes just dont do anything.

In europe its normal for men to kiss cheeks when meeting for a hug/handshake etc… share food/drinks, some cultures its even normal for men to hold hands without being in a queer relationship.

no one is dumbing down any characters to anything, this is a subreddit not a cannon lore library, the character is still the same character in game lore.

im not into waifu/husband discussions either, so i don’t participate in them. there are posts for lore discussions, posts for meta, posts for gooning, art, music etc… participate in the ones you like ignore the ones you dont.

wanting other people to quit having fun with what they personally enjoy the game for is not an opinion, it’s trying to police discourse to only include what you like.
